Whirlwind

It has been a fairly uneventful week. The past few days at work have been slow, which means the first thing my mind thinks of is FOOD. I try to get up and make a lap around the office any time this happens, but sometimes the munchie bug just hits.

I've had several stress-inducing things pop up this week, between family, friends, long-term plans, and my knee, so I'm very proud that i haven't resorted to emotional eating as much as i could have. I'm still not perfect, but i'm working to cope with my emotions in a non-food way. I know this is crucial to my long-term success (weight-wise), so i really try to identify the behavior and either distract myself or rationalize myself out of the emotional eating.

My husband has been incredibly supportive throughout these stressful days, and reminds me that no matter how hard i try, there are some things/people/decisions over which i have no control, and i can't let myself worry and stress about those things. Am really working on this, but its hard.

I'm looking forward to the weekend, though! I've got a hair appointment tomorrow morning, should be able to relax, maybe go for a nice long walk, and hopefully de-compress!

Hoping you all have a wonderful Friday and a great weekend as well!
